As anyone who grew up in the internet age will tell you, there is a big difference between being internet-famous and being real-world-famous. Take, for example, the LA band Threatin.

The new season of Stranger Things, a show whose last season released more than a year ago, isn’t set to arrive on Netflix until next summer.

Luca Guadagnino is one of our most celebrated modern directors, with his work on movies like 2015’s A Bigger Splash, last year’s Call Me By Your Name, and this year’s Suspiria remake anointing him as one of Hollywood’s chosen few. But, as Call Me By Your Name star Timothée Chalamet revealed in a recent interview, even…
On a crazy motherfucker of a week, sometimes you just need a little Tracy Morgan in your life.

We’ve written before about the sartorial triumphs of actor Ezra Miller, whose dressed-up commitment to events like Comic-Con have quickly become the stuff of internet legend. And really, what’s a big Paris movie premiere but another sort of cosplay opportunity, albeit one where you’re going as the most glamorous…
Suggesting that Grindelwald isn’t the only one out there committing crimes against the wizarding world right now, BBC News reports that author J.K. Rowling is suing a former assistant for, among other things, supposedly using a company credit card to buy herself a couple of cats. (The News refuses to note whether the…
You’d think Greg Berlanti would be a busy man, considering that he holds the all-time record for producing the most live-action scripted drama shows currently on the air, but apparently that’s a very easy job because he still has time to direct movies. He made Love, Simon, which came out earlier this year, and now …

In a move that carries a certain amount of irony—given that the studio is working with only (and exactly) half of its overhead on this particular flick—Avengers 4 co-director Joe Russo has said that the upcoming superhero climax is expected to be Marvel Studios’ longest film yet, with the current, mid-edit version of…
Philip Roth died earlier this year, leaving behind a legacy of novels that are likely to be celebrated for generations to come, and a whole bunch of film adaptations that, well, not so much.

Star Wars: Rogue One is probably the most underrated entry in Disney’s run on the Star Wars series so far, but one of its obvious faults was that it didn’t really have enough room to develop its squad of doomed characters on top of telling the story of their suicide mission to expose the Death Star’s one design flaw.…
According to Deadline, Hulu’s Veronica Mars revival has added a couple more familiar faces to its lineup, with one being familiar because he was on the old show (though he’s also a big sitcom star now) and the other being familiar because he’s a very famous comedian.

It’s like the Christian church has been warning us all for centuries: Don’t mess with Satan, Lucifer, Lord of the Pit, the merciless Morningstar, first of the fallen, prince of lies, etc., or he’ll totally see your ass in court. Variety reports that the Satanic Temple has now made good (bad?) on its legal threats…
Freestyle rapping, as anyone who has ever attempted to do so and then immediately told you their name and what they’re here to say will tell you, is hard. Doing so under the pressure of Sway Calloway’s long-running Sway in the Morning radio show, where going off the top is something of a rite of passage for young…
